Some people tried to break through the cordon of law enforcers, but they did not succeed.

At the same time, one girl from among the opponents of the Pride march took away the flag from a participant of the procession and ran away.

According to the Kyiv Police Communications Department, six people who tried to break through the police cordon are taken to the police station to find out their data and legally assess their actions.

As UNIAN reported, about 1,000 people took part in the KyivPride 2017, including foreign diplomats, members of human rights organizations, and ordinary citizens, while 5,500 law enforcers provided the security of the event.
